Today was the day....was I ready......uh uh I was sooo shi***ing myself!! Was trying not to think about. Couldn't even eat anything!! But I was determined to do it :D I can't be a chicken my whole life lol!!
We walked down to the A J Hackett centre to get the bungy bus upto the Nevis Swing. It was about a 45min drive there. The actual last part of the road was scary enough and hadn't even seen the swing yet!! They were playing music which had lyrics like....highway to hell and jump jump jump.....really wasn't helping lol. Had no time to think about it once we got there. Wasn't many people around so off we went. Across the suspension bridge to the swing which was between two mountains. Amazingly scary view. I was doing a tandom swing so me and Lorna got ready to go. We volunteered to go first but they took Marianne and Katherine to go first instead hehe. The guys were jokers and messing around. Once the first two were strapped in they let them go and watching thing was the scariest thing ever. After that I just didn't want to do it but I did. We got strapped in and off we went. The guys kept teasing us when he was about to press the button a but then he did it. 70m freefall drop followed by the swing. Wow that was crazyy.....it was over so quick and I screamed all the way but was soo much fun. Never done anything like it. You need to see the video to see what I mean!!
Now for the bungy at the Kawaru Bridge.....This was my worst fear.....just jumping off a bridge with no one to push you!! How was I gonna do it. We had to drive back to the Bridge site so I had a bit of time to freak myself out!! Once we got there, there wasn't much time before it was time to jump!! I got in the que and I was 2nd. Uh oh. How to do it.....I just had to look straight ahead and not concentrate on how high I was. They got me ready.....having a towel wrapped round my feet didn't feel very safe but I guess they knew what they were doing!! I was tied up and ready to go....walked to the edge.....they counted to 3 and down I went.....omg I have never felt anything like it!!! It was sooo scary and fun all at the same time. Again it was over in seconds but I screamed soooooo much I didn't think Id have a voice left lol.. They pulled me down into a boat and dropped me at the other side to walk back up. When your pumping with so much adrenaline it is so hard to walk back up a hill in the blazing sun!! I was hyper for a long time after lol
That night we went out for a meal and drinks (as always!!) lol. Last night in Queenstown :( When we got back I was just hanging out in my PJ's and some of the others who stayed out a bit longer came back and we had some Tequila. Then we found this very drunk lady sitting outside the lodges. We tried to get her into her room with great difficulty!!! She nearly dropped a few times!! I had blue pjs on and I think she thought I was the police or something cause she kept asking me not to report her!! Was too funny! It got kinda late and we had to be up early so off to bed it was!!
